Two people were killed in tiger and leopard attacks and a cub rescued from a forest died while undergoing treatment in Maharashtra's Chandrapur district in the last 72 hours, officials said on Monday.

Farmer Vaman Kinnake spotted the three-month-old leopardess cub in Chichpalli range in Mul tehsil and alerted forest officials who took it to the Transit Treatment Centre (TTC), where it died due to liver failure, said Chandrapur Chief Conservator of Forest Prakash Lonkar.
